After the most beautiful start to the day, mentioned in the blog below, Jessica and I took some rest before helping prepare for Christmas Dinner at Gauri Shankar Guest House with my family away from family….
Well sort of...
The menu for the evening was: Entree:
Broccoli Soup with a tomato and onion relish:
Main: Which I helped prepare was stuffed capsicums with a tomato, rice, onion and buffallo cheese mixture, served with a baked vege and chick pea salad with a dill and lemon juice dressing....mmmmm vegetarian based Christmas!
Then dessert was a meringue kisses cake, so it felt a bit Aussie as it reminded me of pavalova!
Dinner with all the long term guests and staff was such a great night, we did crackers, danced, and replaced each other as we all missed our family.
And of coarse the giving of the gifts!!!
Thank you Mom and Nai for the packages they made me cry!

A Beautiful Christmas!!!!!!
Happy New Year Everyone!!!

Hi Ya Beth,
ReplyDeleteWas going through my freinds list on Fb and saw your lovely face. Checked your wall and it's loke woah girl you gone outback! into the world.
I am now officially "Deinstitutionalized". I like that term... it's like "stick it to the mon...man" so said the late great Bob Marley or was it Bhaghwan Bob...please dont ask me about him...:)
Anyway...when you do what you do you touch the Lord's heart so dont be surprised when you meet him one day he say's "thank you for those 50 gifts" for when you do it for the least of these you do it for me!
Anyway...I wish I was out there too But all in his time...
Its important work you do. Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. May he reveal to you a bit more of himself in 2010...remember only a little at a time.
Bless You Beth
